it didn't really nearly kill you, did it. or even slightly tickle you.

to be honest if you'd chosen an existing library for C++ that doesnt tie you to asio and a ton of dependencies, you could have got a massive leg up. take a look: dpp.dev/

hope this helps!

Well this was now a good long while ago, but I did go searching for an existing library and at the time all Web Socket libraries required the use of Boost - which I was not willing to use.
